I did something. This is my first piece of artwork completely done in Adobe Illustrator. (patting self on back)

Thank goodness we never gave up trying to learn how to walk as children. Imagine a world where most people crawl because: maybe they weren't made for walking.

Learn the rules. MASTER THE RULES. Break the rules

Learn the rules. MASTER THE RULES. Break the rules. Make your own rules.

They can shoot a basketball with decent form. They throw and catch a football (often better than most boys). They can write with power and vulnerability, step on stage, and share their truth with a room full of people. They can draw, paint, shoot, and edit. I’ll stop there.

They can do so much so well at such a young age.

This is my daughters’ Portfolio of Success. This is how I developed them into the confident young ladies that the world sees today.

Almost all kids have this crazy unrealistic confidence at an early age that they can do anything.

They scream ME TOO! ME TOO!

My girls were no different. So I leveraged this little fact to the moon. 🚀 🌝

Somewhere along the line, a lot of kids lose the ME TOO belief. It breaks my heart.

I thought to myself: What things do most adults (including myself) wish they could do but swear they can’t?

“I’m not .”

What if I introduce my girls to all these life skills early on in life? What if they become competent at all of them through repetition, encouragement, and coaching?

The growth and confidence, when stacked together, would be exponential. My babies would believe that they can learn anything and do anything.

I imagined conversations with the 30-year-old version of their future selves. I could see them questioning their ability to learn .

Well, then I would have to pull out their Portfolio of Success.
“Oh baby, let me remind you of all the skills you have possessed since you were a little girl.”

"Think of every decision as a bet with a probability and a reward for being right and a probability and a penalty for being wrong." - @raydalio

I find this to a useful principle to keep in mind.

Not all decisions will require money. Regardless, if you see decisions as bets, it forces me to stop and consider the odds of my bet/ decision.

New month. New habit.

Last month I started the practice of writing daily.
This month I start the practice of desigining something simple yet profound. Poof. Mindblown kinda stuff 🤯.

Let's see how it goes.

Today's prompt: START.

I hated smiling in photos. I didn't like my smile

I hated smiling in photos. I didn't like my smile and made sure never to do it. I felt like I looked like an idiot.

It's not hard to avoid smiling if you're unhappy with your life. It was the last year of my marriage, and I was going through old photos of myself with my daughters.

Of course, they're smiling from ear to ear. They’ve always been happy little girls. There I was, looking like a sad little man, refusing to smile if the camera was pointing in my direction.

Then I had a thought that woke me up.

What if my daughters see these photos when they’re older and wonder why I was always sad or even mad. I loved our memories together, but you would never know that from looking at the photos.

I had to change my attitude. For them. For me. I decided to smile more and get over my insecurity.

But how? How can I smile and make sure it's genuine? I didn't want to have one of those forced smiles. Being the problem-solver I am, I created this little trick to generate a genuine smile.

I’d whisper to myself: "I'm a SEXY MOTHAFU#%@."

It worked immediately! I imagine it’s because it's an outlandish thing to think. But I had to say it with conviction—no half-ass sexiness.

I'm proud to say there are now plenty of photos of my little family where we’re all smiling. These days it's much easier because I am more comfortable in my skin.

Go ahead and try it. If you’re ever in a pinch and need to smile in your photos, just say this: "I'M A SEXY MOTHAFU#%@."

The crazy thing is that now I believe it. It’s funny how that works.

I’m 45. If anyone asks me in conversation, I freely answer. I never say: Oh my, you know that it’s not polite to ask a gentleman his age, right?

I’m proud of the fact that I’m finally the man I dreamed of becoming. My 18-year-old self would be proud of us.

If I can do it, you can too.

It’s a fantastic feeling to be older. I give less fucks about stupid stuff or things that I can’t control. I’ve seen so many things come and go and come back again. Nostalgia, am I right?

I’ve made many foolish mistakes that taught me invaluable lessons. But I’ve also had the privilege of learning from being an observer and simply paying attention.

It’s evident why older people are so wise: they lived long enough to see the long term implications of many of their decisions early in life. The perspective + hindsight from this vantage point is astounding. I aim not to be a bitter old fuck, though.

My kids are about to head off to college and start their careers. I’m in the endgame of this phase of fatherhood.

So I’m going to fly the coop.

I’m rocking the Dad Bod to its full potential and comfortable in my skin. It’s been a long, painful road here, but I’m eager to share my stories, lessons, and experiences.

I’m filming videos regularly, restarted my podcast, and writing daily. I once fancied myself a writer. I let it go because I thought I wasn’t a good writer and felt like no one cared what I had to share.

I was wrong. Someone was always reading and listening.

Besides, I’m confident my stories will make an impact on at least two people. I write, speak, and perform for them.

Anyone else tuning in to the Teevee show is just a bonus. I see you.

Thank you.

This rose didn't grow from the concrete(a nod to Tupac).

I wonder what path it took to die on the concrete. There's a poem here. I just don't have the skill to write it.

💍 My Marriage Was My Biggest And Best Failure..

💍 My Marriage Was My Biggest And Best Failure... let me explain.

👉LINK TO FULL VIDEO IN BIO

I was in a hurry to marry and start the family I wanted. I found a woman that made me feel special and gave me two amazing daughters. For this, I will always be grateful.

But things started to go wrong and were both miserable.

In the process of falling apart and the divorce I learned that I had a lot of work to do. But it was possible to become a better man.
